The rear features Y-shaped LED tail lights hooked together using a strip of chrome to give it a high-end look. Alloy 15-inch dual toned wheels give it a sporty appearance.
The cabin is also enhanced with dual-tone interiors and soft-touch materials inside the cabin and the more premium trims come with a sunroof and high quality leatherette seats. All trims have also been fitted with rear AC vents and 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other features such as a 360-degree camera also make up the top trims, increasing their convenience and safety. The cabin layout not only makes it comfortable in short city travels but also the longer travels but also practical with a 382-litre boot making it family-friendly.
Engine, Fuel options and Transmission
Maruti Dzire 2024 has a 1.2-litre petrol engine with 3-cylinders, which produces 82 PS and 112 Nm of torque. There will be 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT transmission variants to choose from, which will be easy to drive in the city. To the fuel-sensitive consumers, the CNG versions (VXi and ZXi trims) offer a very good choice, with a fuel consumption of about 33.73 km/kg, making it very economical in day-to-day travelling. The efficiency of petrol variants is approximately 24.8-25 km/l, which is a bit better than the last model, and AMT variants are more focused on convenience with the least effect on the mileage.

The standard safety equipment is six airbags, ESC (Electronic Stability Control), ABS with EBD, child seat ISOFIX mounts, and hill hold assist. Top trims include a 360 degree camera to facilitate easier parking in the cities. Dzire 2024 is one of the safest sedans within its segment with these upgrades.
Dimensions and Practicality
Dzire 2024 is proportionate as it is 3,995 mm in length, 1,735 mm in width and 1,525 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,450 mm, which allows easy navigation over rough roads. The boot has a storage capacity of 382 litres which is ideal to small families or over the weekend. The cabin is rather spacious, particularly in higher trims with sunroof and rear AC vents.
Pricing and Post-GST Updates
Ex-showroom prices of the Dzire 2024 on launch in November 2024 were ₹6.79 lakh LXi MT base, to ₹10.14 lakh ZXi+ AMT top end. Maruti also announced some GST price cuts after slight percentage increase in the early 2025, making Dzire cheaper to purchase. The LXi MT variant is now available with a starting price of ₹6.25 lakh, and with cuts of ₹53,000–88,000 in the other trims.
